Nausicaa: Film Hopes and themes
One of the best old Anime Manga films was by the famous Miyazaki called Naussicaa -also Valley of the Wind in America. It was spelled differently in different countries as well and was edited quite differentially, with various endings to boot. However, it still remains a strong film revolving around hard morality and ecological themes. As a apocalyptic film, it ventures into surprisingly real themes for anime - focusing on nature versus mankind's technological innovations, as well as humanity's disrespect for the earth itself...and the consequences that follow.
In the years to pass, there have been live action films that to me, seem to steal a bit form this great Anime story. Some live-action films that people have felt used Nausicaa as a muse, were Starship Troopers and After Earth, as well as many others.
With current CGI swooning towards better quality and usage in live action films, there is hope that this animated feature would be made into a great live action film. But what would that look like, and what actors could play the parts of such characters as Princess Xandra and Lord Yuppa?
